July 28, 2009 - I've been playing around on ESPN Trade Machine to see how many plausable trade scenarios I could come up with for the teams rumored to want Boozer. I intentionally did not include NY because I just can't imagine the Jazz will do a deal with them, and they really don't have any players I want.

While some of these trades would obviously make me happier than others, I only listed deals that I would actually do (assuming no better offers were on the table). Seems like KOC should be able to make at least one of these happen:

MiamiBoozer for Beasley and HaslemBoozer for Chalmers, Cook, Blount, and 2010 1st-round pickBoozer and Kirilenko for Beasley and O’NealBoozer and CJ for Beasley, Blount, and CookBoozer and CJ for Beasley, Haslem, and CookBoozer for Haslem, Wright, and Cook + CJ for Chalmers (separate transaction to take advantage of trade exception)Boozer, CJ, and Harpring for Beasley, Haslem, and Blount

Summary: Any Miami trade must include either Beasley or both Chalmers and Cook.

New JerseyBoozer for Lee and SimmonsBoozer for Lee, Battie, and DoolingBoozer for Lee, Battie, and YiBoozer and CJ for Lee, Simmons, and BooneBoozer and Harpring for Lee, Simmons, and DoolingBoozer, CJ, and Harpring for Lee, Simmons, and Battie

Summary: Any NJ trade must include Courtney Lee (unless of course Brook Lopez is available...)

ChicagoBoozer for Thomas and JamesBoozer for Hinrich and NoahBoozer and Fess for Salmons and JamesBoozer and CJ for Hinrich and ThomasBoozer and CJ for Hinrich, James, and 2010 1st-round pickBoozer and Harpring for Thomas and MillerBoozer, Kirilenko, and CJ for Hinrich, Thomas, Deng, and James

Summary: There are a bunch of Chicago players I would happily take back for Boozer
